The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — Thou, I, me, Thy — and what happens in the verse to me, Thee, hand, favour, sight, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Onkelos and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 36 chapters of Numbers on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְאִם־כָּ֣כָה ׀ אַתְּ־עֹ֣שֶׂה לִּ֗י הָרְגֵ֤נִי נָא֙ הָרֹ֔ג אִם־מָצָ֥אתִי חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֶ֑יךָ וְאַל־אֶרְאֶ֖ה בְּרָעָתִֽי׃פ [And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray Thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in Thy sight; and let me not look upon my wretchedness.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.450/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:NUM:434 # text = וְאִם־כָּ֣כָה ׀ אַתְּ־עֹ֣שֶׂה לִּ֗י הָרְגֵ֤נִי נָא֙ הָרֹ֔ג אִם־מָצָ֥אתִי חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֶ֑יךָ וְאַל־אֶרְאֶ֖ה בְּרָעָתִֽי׃פ # verse = NUM.11.15 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:15!1|MId=o040110150011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=NUM_11:15!1|MId=o040110150012|Strong=0518 3 כָּ֣כָה כָּכָה ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=NUM_11:15!2|MId=o040110150021|Strong=3602 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=NUM_11:15!2 5 אַתְּ־ אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_11:15!3|MId=o040110150031|Strong=0859b|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 6 עֹ֣שֶׂה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 9 advcl _ Gloss=[are].doing|Ref=NUM_11:15!4|MId=o040110150041|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:040110150031;|Type=participle_active 7-8 לִּ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_11:15!5|MId=o040110150051|Strong=3807a 8 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_11:15!5|MId=o040110150052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 הָרְגֵ֤נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָרְג הָרַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=kill|Ref=NUM_11:15!6|MId=o040110150061|Strong=2026|Frame=A0:040110110041;A1:040110150062;|Type=imperative 10 ֵ֤נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_11:15!6|MId=o040110150062|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 11 נָא֙ נָא INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=NUM_11:15!7|MId=o040110150071|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 12 הָרֹ֔ג הָרַג VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 obl:npmod _ Gloss=immediately.(kill)|Ref=NUM_11:15!8|MId=o040110150081|Strong=2026|Type=infinitive_absolute 13 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=NUM_11:15!9|MId=o040110150091|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 14 מָצָ֥אתִי מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 21 advcl _ Gloss=I.have.found|Ref=NUM_11:15!10|MId=o040110150101|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:040110110072;A1:040110150111;|Type=qatal 15 חֵ֖ן חֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=favor|Ref=NUM_11:15!11|MId=o040110150111|Strong=2580 16-18 בְּעֵינֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_11:15!12|MId=o040110150121|Strong=0871a 17 עֵינֶ֑י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 14 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=NUM_11:15!12|MId=o040110150122|Strong=5869 18 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_11:15!12|MId=o040110150123|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19-20 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:15!13|MId=o040110150131|Strong=2050b 20 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_11:15!13|MId=o040110150132|Strong=0408|Type=negative 21 אֶרְאֶ֖ה רָאָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 parataxis _ Gloss=let.me.look|Ref=NUM_11:15!14|MId=o040110150141|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:040110110072;|Type=infinitive_construct 22-24 בְּרָעָתִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_11:15!15|MId=o040110150151|Strong=0871a 23 רָעָת רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=distress|Ref=NUM_11:15!15|MId=o040110150152|Strong=7451b 24 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_11:15!15|MId=o040110150153|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_11:15!15|SpaceAfter=No 26 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_11:15!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - hedged: yes (נָא) | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עֹשֶׂה *\[are\] doing* | participle active · qal | אַתְּ־ *you* | | | | | הָרְג *kill* | imperative · qal | | ֵנִי *me* | | | | מָצָאתִי *I have found* | qatal · qal | | חֵן *favor* | | | | **not** אֶרְאֶה *let me look* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
